So yesterday I was chatting with my neighbor who just had a flat roof installed, and we got into this whole hypothetical about what we'd do if one morning we woke up and found our roofs basically turned into little swimming pools overnight. Like, imagine you climb up there expecting just a few puddles after rain, but instead it's like ankle-deep water... um, besides freaking out a bit, what would you actually do first? Call someone immediately, or try to drain it yourself somehow? Curious how people here would handle this kinda situation.

Honestly, first thing I'd do is snap a quick pic—insurance companies love visuals. Then I'd probably check the drains myself to see if they're clogged with leaves or debris. Usually that's the culprit. If it's something simple, clearing it out might save you a call-out fee. But if it's deeper than ankle-level... yeah, that's when I'd call in backup. Has anyone here actually dealt with serious roof pooling before? Curious how that went down.
